TRF is a nonprofit dedicated to saving retired Thoroughbreds from possible neglect, abuse & slaughter
(23)
Our first farm opened in 1983 at a correctional facility in New York, where inmates participated in a nationally accredited TRF Second Chances vocational training program in equine care and stable management. The TRF Second Chances program has since expanded to 9 states and provides an important "job" for horses whose racing-related injuries leave them unsuitable for a second career as a riding ho
rse. The inmates learn marketable skills as well as invaluable lessons in compassion and responsibility. TRF also offers permanent retirement at 16 private farms around the country.

Help support the TRF Farrier Fund! This fund ensures essential hoof care for our herd of retired Thoroughbreds, many of whom are senior horses requiring specialized attention.
This care is not just crucial for their well-being but also serves as an educational opportunity for participants in the TRF Second Chances Program. Opening pathways for a stable future after their graduation. However, this invaluable teaching tool does come at a price: imagine a pedicure for 1,600 feet every 8 weeks. This quickly adds up to nearly $400 per horse.
We're aiming to raise $100,000 to cover these vital services. Give a gift today to help us reach our goal!
October Song had a little visitor. Song was recently pulled with the help of a network of amazing Thoroughbred lovers. We can't thank them enough for saving this girl from a tragic fate. She is sweet as can be and patient with even the tiniest of humans❤

A heartfelt thank you to our gracious hosts and ambassadors, Andrea Spungen and Brian Farr for hosting an event at Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, to bring awareness of the TRF and its programs. Thank you, Heidi Richards from Pleasant Valley State Prison (PVSP) and graduate James Anderson, for your informative and inspiring speaking. James beautifully expressed how the love for horses can truly change a person and putting that love into action is the best feeling ever. California Assemblymember Dawn Addis, honored the TRF with a special resolution from the CA State Legislature to commemorate our anniversary milestone. We are grateful to all who attended to learn and share the magic of "Saving Horses and Changing Lives". Thank you from the herd! Photo Credit: Holly Jeanne Brown

An amazing video of Pastures of Point Lookout Thoroughbreds that were adopted from the TRF. We love seeing them enjoying their retirement and having fun!
Sometimes, three is not a crowd! Our herd certainly loves playing in the field together, and we are here for it. Always so nice to see them enjoying each other's company. 😍❤
There is always that one horse.... Wait for it. #notacareintheworld #happy
Fall, Fashion, and Fillies hosted by the TRF Sanctuary Farm at Chestnut Hall was a huge success! Thank you all sponsors, donors, models and volunteers! We could not have done this without everyone's help. Check out our event recap.
If you ask any horse, after getting a bath and all cleaned up is the best time to roll!
